“Well worth a stay!”
We had a fantastic stay at Poppy Cottage during the half term holiday. The owner was helpful prior to our visit, particularly as we’d book a last minute get away. During our stay, there was always space to park on the road outside the cottage so we didn’t need to make use of the designated parking space, but it was good to know there was always a space if needed. On arrival, the cottage was spotlessly clean, warm and a real home from home. The scones, jam and clotted cream were very welcome after our trip! The cottage is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and has outstanding views of the surrounding countryside. We were quick to make use of the lovely log burner and our dog was living her best life lying in front of the fire every evening. The owners really have thought of everything, there are stair gates at the top and bottom of the stairs, a small cleaning kit which includes some washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets (which was useful because we’d forgotten these), a few logs and lots of useful visitor information provided. For our stay, it was just us as a couple with our dog, but the cottage would be well suited to 4 adults or a small family. The garden is secure so we could leave the doors open without having to worry about the dog which was reassuring. There is a friendly village pub next door (which doesn’t disturb the cottage at all) and a well stocked village shop (there is a supermarket in Dartmouth, just a 10 minute drive away). The cottage is well situated for visiting many of Devon’s lovely towns and beaches. We were blown away by how “dog friendly” everywhere was. Thank you for a lovely stay, we’d highly recommend Poppy Cottage!
